HOORAY !  THE BEND WAS SUCCESSFUL

2/21/2017

I was able to bend eight sides without a crack or a split.  Always a relief to get that done.  Especially this build with some valuable East Indian Rosewood and a set of beautiful Cocobolo.  While the bent sides were cooling I was able to get started on putting sides on one use.

Here is # 92, in the assembly jig.  The sides are glued down and also have a few sections of tentalones glued in to hold the sides in place when the clamps are removed.

I saved the Cocobolo sides for last.  Here it is just out of the bender  Just look at the oil that I cooked out of the wood in the 350 degree press.  But the wood came out beautifully.  This is going to be a very pretty ukulele

Here is the first piece of cocobolo.  I love it.

And the second one came out great as well.
